We propose several topological order parameters expressed in terms of Green's function at zero frequency for topological superconductors, which generalizes the previous work for interacting insulators. The coefficient in topological field…
It is known that, under short-range interactions many topological superconductors (TSC) and topological insulators (TI) are trivialized, which means the boundary state of the system can be trivially gapped out by interaction without leading…
The quantum phase transition between topological and non-topological insulators or between fully gapped superfluids/superconductors can occur without closing the gap. We consider the evolution of the Majorana edge states on the surface of…
We construct a Green function, which can identify the topological nature of interacting systems. It is equivalent to the single-particle Green function of effective non-interacting particles, the Bloch Hamiltonian of which is given by the…
Topological phase transitions in free fermion systems can be characterized by closing of single-particle gap and change in topological invariants. However, in the presence of electronic interactions, topological phase transitions are more…
We present a Green's function formalism to investigate the topological properties of weakly interacting one-dimensional topological insulators, including the bulk-edge correspondence and the quantum criticality near topological phase…
The interplay of topological electronic band structures and strong interparticle interactions provides a promising path towards the constructive design of robust, long-range entangled many-body systems. As a prototype for such systems, we…
We present a general recipe to describe topological phase transitions in condensed matter systems with interactions. We show that topological invariants in the presence of interactions can be efficiently calculated by means of a…
Topological insulators are noninteracting, gapped fermionic systems which have gapless boundary excitations. They are characterized by topological invariants, which can be written in many different ways, including in terms of Green's…
Topological order in solid state systems is often calculated from the integration of an appropriate curvature function over the entire Brillouin zone. At topological phase transitions where the single particle spectral gap closes, the…
The effect of spatially modulated interaction on quantum phase transition in one-dimensional interacting spinless fermion system is theoretically investigated by exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group method. Our…
We theoretically study topological phase transitions in four generalized versions of the Kane-Mele-Hubbard model with up to $2\times 18^2$ sites. All models are free of the fermion-sign problem allowing numerically exact quantum Monte Carlo…
It has recently been realized that zero modes with projective non-Abelian statistics, generalizing the notion of Majorana bound states, may exist at the interface between a superconductor and a ferromagnet along the edge of a fractional…
We study the effect of interactions on the time reversal invariant topological insulators in four and three spatial dimensions. Their topological indices are expressed by the interacting Green's functions. Under the local self-energy…
Topological insulators and superconductors are characterized by their gapless boundary modes. In this paper, we develop a recursive approach to the boundary Green function which encodes this nontrivial boundary physics. Our approach…
We describe in detail a counterexample to the topological classification of free fermion systems. We deal with a one dimensional chain of Majorana fermions with an unusual T symmetry. The topological invariant for the free fermion…
Defects which appear in heterostructure junctions involving topological insulators are sources of gapless modes governing the low energy properties of the systems, as recently elucidated by Teo and Kane [Physical Review B82, 115120 (2010)].…
A metal near the topological transition can be loosely viewed as consisting of two groups of electrons. First group are "bulk" electrons occupying most of the Brillouin zone. Second group are electrons with wave vectors close to the…
We explicitly calculate the Green functions describing quantum changes of topology in Friedman-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker Universes whose spacelike sections are compact but endowed with distinct topologies. The calculations are performed…
A generic semiclassical superconducting nanostructure connected to multiple superconducting terminals hosts a quasi-continuous spectrum of Andreev states. The spectrum is sensitive to the superconducting phases of the terminals. It can be…
